We Were Liars meets Looking for Alaska in a uniquely funny and heartbreaking teen novel about a passionate-yet-doomed friendship, set against a backdrop of wealth and glamour. Willa Parker, 646th and least-popular resident of What Cheer, Iowa, is headed east to start a new life. Did she choose this life? No, because that would be too easy-and nothing in Willa's life is easy. It's her famous genius mother's idea to send her to ultra-expensive, ultra-exclusive Pembroke Prep, and Willa has no intention of fitting in. But when she meets peculiar, glittering Remy Taft, the richest, most mysterious girl on campus, she starts to see a foothold in this foreign world-a place where she could maybe, possibly, sort of fit in. When Willa looks at Remy, she sees a girl who has everything. But for Remy, having everything comes at a price. And as she spirals out of control, Willa can feel Remy spinning right out of her grasp. Andrea Portes, author of Anatomy of a Misfit, spins a similarly incandescent, heartfelt story that explores the meaning of friendship, new beginnings, and the precarious joy and devastating pain of finding home in a place-a person-with wings.

About Andrea Portes

Andrea Portes is the bestselling novelist of two critically lauded adult novels Hick her debut which was made into a feature film starring Chloe Grace Moretz Alec Baldwin Blake Lively Eddie Redmayne and Juliette Lewis and Bury This. Her first novel for young adult readers Anatomy of a Misfit was called perfection in book form by Teen Vogue. Andrea grew up shuffled around between such disparate locales as Nebraska Brasilia Texas Rio de Janeiro Baltimore North Dakota California Wisconsin and North Carolina. Finally Andrea was granted relief from this nomadic existence when she was accepted to Bryn Mawr College. She attended on a full scholarship and later graduated cum laude with a major in English literature. She then earned her Masters in Fine Arts degree from UC San Diego. After her relentless education Andrea moved to the neighborhood of Echo Park in Los Angeles where she spent years mostly getting into trouble. It was in this period of vague nothingness that Andrea penned her debut novel in longhand in three notebooks. Currently she lives in Los Angeles with her husband Sandy Tolan their son Wyatt and their dog Rascal. You can visit her online at www.andreaportes.com.
